Default Rear Wiper Fault

Hi,

I have an X reg Fabia with a rear wiper fault. When I push the wiper stalk away from me or engage reverse gear whilst the main wipers are on I would expect the rear wiper to activate. It doesn't.

The history behind this relates to a bike rack I had on the car which uses an arm onto the rear window to steady itself. It was raining and I needed to reverse out of a parking spot so the rear wiper activated. It then struck the bike rack and stuck there. It hasn't moved since.

Any ideas?

check the fuses first , if they are ok you could of burnt the motor out when it was stuck

fuses are behind a panel on the R/H/S of the dash , accessed with the door open
as to which fuse it is , best look in the handbook , if you have one or it may say on the cover you remove to access the fuses

Thanks for the help. Had to wait a few days for the local garage to reopen and got me a new 10A fuse to replace the burnt out one in slot 32. All works fine now.

Cheers!
